Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney
General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott,
Office of the Attorney General, of Columbia; and Solicitor John R. Justice,
of Chester, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM: Brett James Catoe pled guilty
to assault and battery with intent to kill and possession of a weapon during
a violent crime. Catoe argues his guilty pleas failed to comply with the mandates
set forth in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238 (1969). His counsel attached
to the final brief a petition to be relieved as counsel, stating she reviewed
the record and concluded Catoe’s appeal is without merit. Catoe did not file
a prose response.

After a thorough review of the record
pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967) and State v.
Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss the appeal and
grant counsel’s petition to be relieved.
